As somebody else pointed out, put it in the main gEDA/gaf bug tracker
on SF.

At some point in the processing, Gattrib forms a list of name/value
pairs, using the attrib name as the key.  This is done while it is
figuring out what the column names should be.  That's probably why
things are getting munged.

However, my question is:  Why are you attaching attributes to the same
component which have the same name?   Is it something like
vendor/vendor part no. for different vendors?  And what should the
correct behavior be?
